11 Saul also sent messengers unto David’s house to watch him and to slay him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life tonight, tomorrow thou shalt be dead.
12 So Michal let David down through a window, and he went and fled and escaped.
13 Then Michal took an image and laid it in the bed and put a pillow of goats’ hair at his head and covered it with a cloth.
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15 And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed that I may slay him.
16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed with a pillow of goats’ hair at his head.
17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so and sent away my enemy that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; if not, I shall kill thee.
